waf
build system -node.js
will be usinggyp
now- If you are a native module author(you may still be one if you're not on this list), migrate to
node-gyp
ASAP!
- If you are a native module author(you may still be one if you're not on this list), migrate to

require('sys')
throws, userequire('util')

will not be emitted by default, as it's an internal API. Use thekeypress
module now. -
process.stdin.pipe(dest)
will automatically callprocess.stdin.resume()
.

cluster
-
cluster.fork()
no longer return achild_process.fork()
object usecluster.fork().process
to get the object. - the
'death'
event on thecluster
object is renamed to'exit'
. - the
kill()
method is renamed todestroy()
. - the
CLUSTER_WORKER_ID
env is now calledCLUSTER_UNIQUE_ID
, but you should not have used that anyway. - workers now kill themselves when they accidentally lose their connection to the master.

tofalse
. -
http.ClientRequest

event instead of'request'
when the CONNECT method is responded.

net
-
net.listen(socketPath)
no longer unlinks the socket unless you callserver.close()
. Automatic unlinking was subject to race conditions in multi-process setups. Also applies tohttp.listen(socketPath)
.

-
child_process
-
arguments
andoptions
arguments ofchild_process.fork()
became an option. - the
'exit'
event is now emitted right after the child process exits. It no longer waits for all stdio pipes to be closed. - the
'close'
event was added that has is emitted after the child has exited and all the stdio pipes are closed.

readline
-
arguments
ofrl.createInterface
became an option asrl.createInterface(options)
but still took an old style asrl.createInterface(input, output, completer)

url
-
url.parse()
now parses IPv6 addresses. -
url.parse()
now escapes delimiters characters rather than truncating the input. -
url.format()
now escapes theauth

decodes it.

path.exists()
andpath.existsSync()
has moved tofs.exists()
andfs.existsSync()

fs.symlink
type
argument can now be'junction'

fs.realpath
andfs.lstat
work the same on Windows as on Unix
-
-
console
-
console.timeEnd
now throws when there's no such label
-
-

SlowBuffer
now inherits fromBuffer
. So if you have a module that modifies the prototype, now you only need to alterBuffer.prototype
.
-

os
-
os.cpus().times
is now supported on Windows -
os.uptime
now displays the correct uptime if the system's current uptime is > 50 days on Windows

option tochild_process.fork()
-stdout
andstderr
won't be shared with parent. -

this will allow the child to die gracefully. -
stdio
option forchild_process.spawn()
- configuration of child's stdio (file descriptors). -
detached
option forchild_process.spawn()
- make the child a process group leader (see docs) -
child.send()

andnet.Socket
as second argument.
